A couple of weeks ago I hosted Richard Conway for our Selfstarters Series @GridAKL. We had an amazing Q&A session after his talk and the tech team managed to capture some real value bombs. Thank you GridAKL team for hosting us and making this one smooth event.
I thought I'd share some key takeaways, here are Richard's quick 5 on building & growing your business:
Just do it. You never know if it will eventuate
Push yourself out of your comfort zone
Don’t be scared to delegate
Trust people otherwise you won’t scale
Love what you do
In my interview with Richard I asked him about how he would instil culture and when to step away from your business to put in place systems. Here are some quick notes from the interview.
- Find people that are better at the day to day than you. Create systems and processes that give you scale and give your people the opportunity to show their skills
- Culture evolves. The People who are great today might not be the ones in your company later down the track. You as the leader of your organisation, you need to nurture and instil the culture.
- Create values that truly resonate with you and it will become part of your culture
- Focus on the People who are doing great and make them even better. Don’t neglect your A-players
